The Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Osogbo has sacked Governor Ademola Adeleke as the duly elected governor of the state.
The tribunal in a split document of two to one is declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, should withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Adeleke and issued same to former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola
The majority judgement which was read by the Chairman, Justice Tertse Kume said Oyetola scored the majority lawful votes of 314,931 against Adeleke’s 290,266.
The minority judgement is ongoing.
There are two judgments given by the Tribunal, one in favour of PDP and the other in favour of the petitioner (Oyetola).
Two said they accepted the BVAS report submitted by Oyetola and the other said INEC is the umpire and the owner of BVAS so Oyetola’s BVAS can’t stand.
Appeal Court will look at it again.
Status quo remains as Govenrnor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke remains in office.
